Morning Sue.... Yes, it's darker at both ends of the day isn't it. It's calm and dry with us and promises to be a better day. However, tomorrow is wall to wall rain here and possibly with you as well. I hope you have a good day.....
I am back home after doing my veggie shopping at the Co-op, it's nearer than Town Square. I shall have to go into town later to post a letter,my nearest box is still the Post Office.

I assume you mean the one outside the old Post Office Buildings just the other side of the pelican crossing?

No Ian, that one is not in use, said to be waiting an upgrade but nobody knows when. (I have asked) I meant what I said, the one outside the post office.
I shall do my hour in the shed this morning and then after second sleep my course is clear, veggie cooking. I got my veggies yesterday and did a separate walk to post my letter.
We are forecast a day of heavy rain so I shan't feel deprived of my walk by cooking!

I filed and polished the two crosshead guides and then measured and marked them for the 5BA clearance holes for the bolts that will fasten them to the crosshead slide on the bed. Then I found the six bolts I shall need. Tomorrow I have a clear rite into marking drilling and tapping the be for the guides. We have another small but accurate move towards a finished engine. Right now the task is breakfast.

Morning

There is a scarlet sky brewing under the dawn grey, normally a sign of rain which is forecast all day. However last week it was followed by a beautiful sunny day!

This morning Bob and I are at the hairdressers, then I will collect my newly sharpened scissors from the firm I took them to, £28 for 4 pairs is not bad. Two of those pairs were over £28 new, one pair, the same make was free with a sewing machine I bought and worth the same. This afternoon our hairdresser friend Kath is coming round for a mince pie, a cuppa and a natter. We haven’t seen her for a few weeks. This evening I have zoom pilates, if I get that far before falling asleep. I woke at 3.37 am and didn’t go back to sleep till after 6 . Have a good day all

Morning Sue, time spent servicing tools is never wasted. Too many forget that it's needed.
I had a better night last night, seven hours sleep, more like normal! I think you're right about the rain, it is with us and the wind is rising. Whatever you're doing keep warm and dry. ....
